Charges: Grandma shoplifter learned from TV show 'Cops'

WCCO -

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Taking tips from the show
“Cops,” an Anoka woman allegedly stole groceries and other items from a
Kmart so that she could bake with her grandson, according to a complaint
filed in Anoka County.

Police said Carla Jean Jellison, 50, of Anoka, has been charged with
one count of theft and one count of possession of shoplifting gear, as
she was caught with her purse being lined aluminum tin foil on or about
Jan. 19, 2012, in an effort to defeat the Anoka Kmart’s security
sensors.

According to the complaint, Kmart’s Loss Prevention Officer Brian
Lundstrom witnessed Jellison put butter and chocolate chips in her purse
while shopping.
